$PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 616,583, dated December2'7, 1898 Application filed March 8, 1898. Serial No. 673,042. (N0 del.)

To all whom it may concern/.-

Be it known that I, J OSEPH RICHARD OREILLY, a subject of the Queen ofGreat Britain and Ireland, and a resident of Booterstown, in the countyof Dublin, Ireland, have invented a new or Improved Packing- Envelop forBottles, (for which I have obtained provisional protection in the UnitedKingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, dated November 22, 1897, andnumbered 27,320,) and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention has reference to a new or improved packing-envelop forbottles of simple, light, and efficient construction.

In carrying out my invention I propose to utilize, preferably, that typeof paper commercially known as corrugated paper, although suitablecardboard paper may be used if found equally effectual. This paper Itreat in the following manner, reference being made to the accompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure 1 is a face view of the blank; Fig. 2, a sideview of the envelop when partially completed; Fig. 3, a similar viewafter completion, the dotted lines showing the bottle inclosed. Fig. 4shows the completed envelops empty and flattened. Fig. 5 is a plan viewof a dozen properly packed together, and Fig. 6 is a corresponding endview. Fig. 7 is on a larger scale. It is a top view of the envelop fullycompleted.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all thefigures where they appear.

I take a piece of suflicient dimensions to completely embrace the bottlefor which the envelop A is intended, and I proceed to prepare the upperedge by cutting two tapering flaps A A and two rectangular flaps A A asshown in Fig. 1, or, if found more convenient, four tapering flaps maybe provided, as indicated by the dotted lines. The material thusprepared is then rolled into a cylindrical form, as in Fig. 2, and itsmeeting edges 13 are secured by pasting, sewing, or by paperclips orother suitable means B. The points of the two tapering flaps A A arethen brought together and fastened by a paper-clip or other suitablecontrivance O. IVe have thus a cylindrical case or envelop with astraight edge at the bottom and the upper portion consisting of twotapering flaps connected at their points and two rectangular flapsstanding free in line with the body of the case or envelop. The taperingflaps A A thus form a wedgeshaped end, which serves most usefully inpackin In practice it may not be found necessary to fasten the points ofthe tapering flaps A together 5 but I consider it best to do so, sinceit insures the holding of these flaps in a more accurate position toreceive the overlapping of the rectangular flaps A A, which areafterward pressed inward and folded on the other parts, as indicated inFig. 7. The construc- Fig. 0.
